{"product_id":"tristram-shandy-1","title":"Tristram Shandy","description":"With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.Laurence Sterne''s The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman is a huge literary paradox, for it is both a novel and an anti-novel. As a comic novel replete with bawdy humour and generous sentiments, it introduces us to a vivid group of memorable characters, variously eccentric, farcical and endearing. As an anti-novel, it is a deliberately tantalising and exuberantly egoistic work, ostentatiously digressive, involving the reader in the labyrinthine creation of a purported autobiography.This mercurial eighteenth-century text thus anticipates modernism and postmodernism. Vibrant and bizarre, Tristram Shandy provides an unforgettable experience. We may see why Nietzsche termed Sterne ''the most liberated spirit of all time''.","brand":"Wordsworth Editions Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51447932780891,"sku":"9781853262913","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/tristram-shandy-1","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
